Belver (Gavião)

Belver is a Portuguese civil parish in the municipality of Gavião, district of Portalegre.

[3] Between 1383 and 1385, Belver aligned itself with the forces of Leonor Telles de Menezes against the Master of Avis.

[3] In the 17th century, the village was surveyed by Pedro Nunes Tinoco, and determined to be under the authority of the Priory of Crato.

It is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the urban centre of Gavião along the left margin of the Tagus.

Alternatively, the main access is along the A23/IP6/E806 motorway (Auto-Estrada da Beira-Interior), passing through the northern part of the parish, then 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) south to the Tagus basin.
